What the Voter ID Verification API does

Voter ID remains one of the most widely held identity documents in India, especially among blue-collar and rural workforces. The Voter ID Verification API confirms the EPIC number is genuine and returns the elector's registered details for comparison with what the candidate declared.

Because the record carries a registered address and constituency, it doubles as a lightweight address corroboration when a full physical address verification is not warranted.

Voter ID Verification API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Voter ID Verification API to their integration.

It is optional but improves match accuracy for older EPIC formats that are not nationally unique.

It corroborates the registered address but does not confirm the person currently lives there. For current-residence proof, pair it with Profiden's digital or physical address verification.

The lookup runs against the electoral roll as published by the Election Commission and reflects the latest revision available.
